    Hello All,

    Looking for some guidance for a front sway bar kit for my 2nd Gen (2009).
    Can anyone confirm that any of these kits will work for me?

    WPS-BTF72Z WHITELINE FRONT 24MM BAR KIT for COROLLA 2003-2018/MATRIX 2003-2018, CELICA 2000-2005

    MS868128 MEVOTECH FRONT SWAY BAR KIT (26mm?) for " " (CELICA IS NOT LISTED)

    If those options will not work for whatever reason, what endlink and bushing options do you recommend for use with a stock Corolla Front Sway Bar (24mm?)?

    Thanks in advance for your guidance and suggestions

    Thank you, I will definitely be using the site for future reference. Do you have any insight as to whether or not the sway bar kits(bar, links,bushings etc.) mentioned (for corolla/matrix/celica 2000-2018) will be "plug-and-play" for a 2nd gen? Thanks again.

    Good to know, may I ask what you're using from them and how it's doing for you thus far? Thanks

    I used the below

    OEM corolla 24mm front solid swaybar - 48811AB011
    Energy Suspension front swaybar bushings - 8.5128G

    The OEM Corolla sway bar is solid while others are hollow. I forget the "conversion" of hollow to solid (e.g. a 27mm hollow is equal to 24mm solid). This is the setup I'm using on my car and the bushing. You can use the OEM bushings from the corolla but I wanted soemthing stiffer and went with polyurethane.

    Sorry. I don't have installed pics. Screenshot_20240206_223557.jpeg

    Thanks for sharing. What endlinks are you using? What rear bar is that? How's everything been after the install? That's the route I was considering, but think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Mevotech swaybar; about the same cost as a used corolla swaybar, slightly larger, solid, and comes with links, bushings and hardware.

    Wow, tastefully done! I will definitely be referencing your post for my future mods. What wheels/specs and tire size? Thanks again.

    My wheels are 15x6 +45. Tires are 195/65/15. They're the Rays Super Eco so the wheels themselves are 9lbs each. Super light and forged.

    Where did you find the carbine rear seat brace? I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere.

    TIA!
